No, I technically think that Jason Voorhees is a revenant, a form of undead that has come back to seek vengeance upon a specific person, group, or demographic. Jason’s choice of victims are teens who want to have sex in the deep woods. I mean all that a potential vic would have to do is rent a motel room.

Think about it…he was a kid when he died, but when he actually is killing people it’s after his mother is killed and he’s an adult. He wasn’t the killer in the first Friday the 13th, twas his mommy.

So…he grew up dead? I’m not really sure what to make of him. Did his mom perform some sort of ritual to bring him back to life and raise him in secret? If so wouldn’t he be the…umm…ritual type…which I can’t remember what we called it off the top of my head

Definitely not a Romero zombie. Sure I could go for the revenant explanation but i’ve always viewed him as a smart zombie… How many ways has he come back to life? There was the one with the psychic that raises him… what type of zombie would that be? Mystical?

jason is a monster from hell he can`t be killed no matter what you do to him he is a demon from hell twisted and gifted by saten just for the pure purpose of killing a zombie no a killing machine in its true form yes

he is most definitely a zombie. The man has died, and been brought back to life one too many times to not be. for peep sakes, he’s even seen as rotting with maggots crawling out of him and shit like that. for example, friday the 13th part 7 a new blood. his mask gets crushed off, and its revealed he has a rotting skull head. in part 6 he is Revived by part of a broken iron fence and shown to have maggots crawling all over him. if none of that is zombie, a walking killer corps then I dunno what is.

Jason Voorhees is a ghost, period. He’s the ghost of a 9 year old boy. However, he is a ghost, that, with the strength and power of vengeance, created a physical form around his own drowned body with which to get vengeance for his mother’s death. The big guy in the hockey mask isn’t really Jason, but more Jason’s “vehicle”. Technically, that would make it a Flesh Golem (like Frankenstein’s monster), not a zombie. Hence the reason that electrical charges set it into motion again (and occasionally makes it dormant again).

So, not a zombie; sorry. But incidentally; in the 8th instalment, Jason, the ghost has second thoughts about murdering certain teenagers, and reaches out to one of them, trying, inefficiently, to warn him, since the Flesh Golem body was “hardwired” to kill teenagers at this point; no longer needing the ghost boy presence inside it to operate.

The 8th Instalment (Jason Takes Manhattan) is THE FINAL episode in the Jason series (to us purists), as the Flesh Golem body is finally and irrevocably destroyed by New York’s toxic waste, leaving just the body of a drowned little boy floating through New York’s sewer system. And with the ghost of Jason Voorhees no longer in the business of vengeance, there was no reason why a new “Jason” Flesh Golem body would be created. Therefore, every movie after #8 is NON-CANON.

This is what you get when you ask this question of a “Friday the 13th Obsesso-fanboy”

Jason Voorhees is a Magic type Zombie… and the reason he keeps coming back and cant be killed is simple…. in the very first movie his mother CURSED Crystal lake … simply put Jason is a curse you cant “kill” Jason until the curse is broken , hence why in 8 there was a big lightshow and Jason resumed the form of the child those survivors ” BROKE THE CURSE”

Unless I am mistaken the run down is this
1: Jason “drowns” and his mother goes on a killing spree.
2: Turns out Jason didn’t actually drown and watched his bother be beheaded, puts a sack on his head and goes on a killing spree
3: Jason puts on a Hockey Mask and continues killing spree
4: Jason is killed by some kid at the end, axe to the head.
5: A copy cat pretends to be Jason
6: Jason’s corpse is struck by Lightning, he is now an unkillable zombie.
7: Jason fights a girl with telekinesis
8: Jason gets on a cruise ship, one girl is “haunted” by visions (they are psychological) despite his normal behavior he only goes after those two after getting to Manhattan; in a universe where the sewers are flushed out by acid. Jason is revealed to have the voice he did as a child now that he is a walking corpse.
9: (retcons…everywhere you can see) Jason becomes a demon Goauld (Star Gate) and must find a living female relative who shouldn’t exist given the premise in the first movie.
10: Jason is once again retonned to be a psychotic version…well more psychotic version of Wolverine or Deadpool as he can regenerate. Gets frozen, military abandons site, and eventually end up in space.
11: Freddy vs Jason: Jason has no explination but is shown to regenerate from some bones and a heart in the mud after being coaxed into waking up.
12: *Reboot*: Jason apparently has a mechanical engineering degree and lives in a house that is no-where near the lake or a street and despite the police looking for him for twenty years never checked his home address. Oh and kills completely unlikable unrelatable characters making you want them dead; that shows that movie makers are forgetting how “horror” works.
